This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro coupe underwent a refurbishment in the mid-2010s before being acquired by the seller in 2015 and fitted with a 498ci V8. Finished in orange over black vinyl, the car wears a cowl-induction hood, front and rear spoilers, and 15″ American Racing wheels. It rides on a lowered suspension with tubular front control arms, a Hotchkis front sway bar, and Hotchkis-tuned Fox shocks and is further equipped with front disc brakes. The engine is fitted with a Holley double-pumper carburetor as well as 990 rectangular-port cylinder heads, and gear changes are through a Hurst shifter linked with a Muncie M21 four-speed manual transmission. Additional equipment includes an aluminum flywheel, a Hays clutch assembly, and a Positraction differential as well as a dual exhaust system with long-tube headers and an X-pipe. This Camaro coupe is now offered in Santa Rosa, California, with spare parts and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The body left the factory finished in Hugger Orange and was repainted as part of the build. The cowl induction hood wears 427 badging and is paired with a body-color bumper up front, while the chrome rear bumper is complemented by vertical guards. Further details include front and rear spoilers along with a driver-side mirror and bright trim.
The 15″ American Racing wheels feature gray centers along with polished lips and are mounted with Firestone Super Sports Wide Oval redline tires. The car rides on a lowered suspension with tubular front control arms as well as a Hotchkis front sway bar and Hotchkis-tuned Fox shocks. Braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums.
The refurbished cabin houses front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in black vinyl, which extends to the dash and door panels. Further appointments include a heater, manual-crank windows, and three-point front seatbelts.
A split-spoke steering wheel is paired with a floor-mounted Hurst shifter. Instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and a fuel-level gauge along with aftermarket auxiliary gauges under the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 69k miles, approximately 500 of which have been added under current ownership. True mileage is unknown.
The replacement 498ci V8 was installed in 2018. It breathes through a Holley double-pumper carburetor and is said to be fitted with a COMP Cams solid roller camshaft. Additional components include an ATI Super Damper, 990 rectangular-port cylinder heads, and four-bolt main bearing caps.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Muncie M21 four-speed manual transmission linked with a 12-bolt rear axle and a Positraction differential. An aluminum flywheel and a Hays clutch assembly with a scatter shield are also installed. The dual exhaust system is comprised of long-tube headers flowing into a stainless-steel X-pipe and Magnaflow mufflers.
